I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen

Our engineers are using the most creative technology in the industry to develop this new generation of products that take tire performance to a higher level. The application of relevant technology allows these tires not only to gain credit as true innovations, but also to translate into the kind of driving performance benefits that consumers really want.
Larry Mason
We want that crew to think like the guys who change tires for Indy cars. They have to change dies and get back in the race.
Jeffrey Paul
They're those big, huge rubber tires and we have tons of them.
Savannah Cowley
Making sure tires are properly inflated is one of the easiest and most important maintenance procedures for drivers. Not only does it promote safety but also will save money at the gas pump.
Jenny Mack
We had a really good qualifying position on Friday, which allowed us to try a few things on Saturday, ... We learned that we can't be as aggressive as we wanted to be. We got a little aggressive with the tune-up on the first run and the tires came loose. It just about made it on the second run. We've got a good race car for Sunday. I'm looking to go some rounds.
Tommy Johnson
We have items donated from all over the area. We have a wide range of things including knives, tires, gift certificates, bicycles and tons of toys.
Connie Thomason
Two years ago, I kept all the tires we replaced from potholes in one week and there was a pile of about 300 out back.
Alan Jones
Sometimes it's full of things like refrigerators and old tires.
Bill Summers
It's a lot of work to do. We have to adapt the cars to the tires to make sure we have the best tires for the car. It's an important step.
Pedro Lamy
If Mr. Lampe is basing his defense of Firestone tires on that 100 percent wrong Washington Post story, he's started his first day on the job on a very poor note.
Jason Vines
Full throttle -- like something was wrong and he was trying to get out of here quick. He came out in reverse, barreled across the street and curbs and came up through the yard like he is now. (He) started spinning his tires. A whole bunch of smoke and then the tires caught fire.
John Oliver
Check the caulking. This is something you should check just like you check the tires on your car.
Keith Swilley
It's inoperable. She will be paralyzed the rest of her life. And why? Couldn't they have shot out her tires?
Margaret Jones
We will do everything in our power to ensure the safety of the driving public, ... If one of our tires might jeopardize that safety, then we'll take it off the road. We've done it before, and, if it becomes necessary, we'll do it again. But, that is simply not the case here.
John Lampe
I'm telling you right now, there were five cars out here and most of them had two flat tires. It was nuts. These people were all coming in here and calling for wreckers and going back out in the rain to change their tires. And there were more people on the side of the road with flat tires.
Gary Hamilton
The way they were having trouble with tires and the way our luck has been, I was scared to death tonight.
Bobby Hamilton Jr
Tried to go wide at the start and just got lucky. My tires were going at the end, if there had been three more laps, Lou probably would have gotten by me.
Byron Fellows
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant -- and let the air out of their tires.
Dorothy Parker
Some sit in the stands, some scrape mud, some change tires. This particular hobby takes up a lot of time. That's why you try to do it as a family. You get your wife involved, you get your kids involved. It's a blast.
Larry Petersen
There were 4,700 tires inside the store. Thankfully, there were no cars inside and no employees inside.
Cindy Matthews
Lately we have had a lot of bad things happening with broken motors, flat tires and things like that. Tonight we didn't have anything bad happen to us. We were decent in the beginning and then got to running single file. We were happy to finish in the top five and hopefully this will get us going in the right direction for next week and we can carry some momentum into Knoxville.
Donny Schatz
We appreciate the patience and understanding that so many of our Firestone customers have shown during this major undertaking, ... We're doing everything in our power to replace all recalled tires as quickly as possible.
John Lampe
When people tire of a politician, it's very difficult to get back. This will make for four flat tires on his Hummer come Nov. 8. So far, the other three propositions have been more damaged by his involvement -- and now Prop. 75 will be even more damaged.
Bob Mulholland
People say New Yorkers can't get along. Not true. I saw two New Yorkers, complete strangers, sharing a cab. One guy took the tires and the radio; the other guy took the engine.
David Letterman
After a rather successful 2005 season, our sights are now set even higher up the grid, and we feel that Bridgestone is ideally suited to the technical demands of F1 in the future and will be the best match for our 2006 car. Toyota is serious about winning in F1, and we feel that the switch to Bridgestone tires is the best option in the medium-long term.
Tsutomu Tomita
From the discussions I've had, the immediate target is 'where are these tires and how many are involved, how many does Firestone think are involved, and what are we going to do about it.
Joseph Curran
Please remember we're talking about a test that we agree to do that we do on our own. It's not a required test. That's a very, very severe test. It's a high-speed test, it's designed to take tires right up to their limits, ... If we don't have tires that fail tests, then what value are they?
John Lampe
If at all possible, first check out the tires. When you think about it there only four spots about this big holding you on the road and if they're not in good shape, off you go.
Don Lindsey
The tires were deflating - at least two of the tires were now running on rims. It was apparent he was losing control of the vehicle.
Bill Sadler
Montreal is a very nice track with a great crowd, ... I like it a lot. The most important thing in Montreal is the braking. It's very easy to lock the tires, and there are a lot of chicanes so you have to be really fast in the chicanes.
Bruno Junqueira
Ford and Firestone are playing a shell game with people's lives by using these very tires as replacement tires.
Tab Turner
I think at the end we sort of handed the win away when we didn't take two tires. We could have gotten out ahead of those guys.
Casey Mears
If I was working in tires, we'd be getting a pretty penny.
Hugh Hysell
We're switching tires on almost every Explorer we've sold. Customer confidence level on Firestone tires right now is very low.
Jerry Reynolds
I had a van. By noon, the water was over it. They would say, 'Mom, it's by your tires. Mom, it's by your door.' It was kind of scary. When you have a daughter leaning and depending on you, and you're trying to protect her. There was no way to turn.
Sandra Matherson
Many consumers will not wait. It's not a question of whether we encourage them or not. They're going to get these [tires].
Clarence Ditlow
They average about 5 miles per gallon, depending on the route and the load, they change oil about every 5,000 miles and have 18 tires which are predominantly petroleum products. When oil and diesel prices go up, there is a significant impact on the industry.
Kaylee Brown
It was good for us. We weren't really trying to put up fast times but I was happy with the fact that we still ran some quick times on old tires. I feel very good, my back doesn't hurt at all and I am ready to put in a full day tomorrow.
Bruno Junqueira
The point is that Ford once again is looking to tires to solve the stability problems with Explorer.
Ralph Hoar
Nicky has had a really good day, especially with the performance he showed on the race tires. His times would have been good enough to win Sunday's race here comfortably. Nicky also improved the setting of the machine, which will help him in the remaining six races. Max tried the new machine and found many positive areas and gave us some idea of the areas of the machi.
Makoto Tanaka
I would say 70 percent of the tires I see are under-inflated. They should be inflated on the higher end rather than the lower end.
Don Culpepper
It is our belief the shooter made the shot from inside the truck, due to the fact that, immediately after the shot, the truck sped away, with tires spinning.
Phil Morris
Vaughn would run them ragged. We were always changing the tires. But that told us how much playing the game meant to him. So we tried to do what we could to assist him.
Terry Lynn Taylor
People think tires hold air forever. People ride around on tires with half the pressure they're supposed to have.
Doug James
We had a few problems with the tires earlier in the day. But we managed to sort that out by the time we settled down for the final qualifying session.
Jorge Lorenzo
The car felt really good on new tires, ... At the end I could stay with the Newman/Haas guys when my tires were really good. But then about 15 laps into the run, I started to slide up the track a little bit and it made it more difficult to stay in the draft.
Jimmy Vasser
The mix will stick to the rubber tires on the pneumatic rollers.
Dale Decker
The data clearly indicates the tires with the higher-than-normal tread separation rate were recalled, and that it's absolutely unnecessary to recall any of the other tires. There are some attorneys out to cash in on the recall.
Susan Krusel
It looks like he wrapped his arms around the rear wheel shaft of the car between the back two tires and had stuck his feet up between the spare tire and the bottom of the car.
Rachel Harris
There was no explosion of any device, ... There were containers of condensed milk in there -- metal cans. Those exploded and the tires exploded. That's what people heard.
Dennis Williams
The stop that originally put us in front we did two (tires) and then we did four the last two times.
Pat Tryson
A lot of companies are kicking the tires of that site.
Michael Pollock
It all boils down to slashed tires, violent threats, so we have to stop. And it stinks. I feel kind of sad that it's over with for here.
Felicia Stockford
There's plenty of other people who can pick up market share. And when you think of 6.5 million tires, that's less than one month's production for Goodyear.
Wendy Needham
It's tough. I feel worse for my family and my crew than I do for myself. It was driver error on that one. I've got to keep it out of the garbage. There is an edge out there (outside the second groove of racing), and I drifted up after passing the lap car. You get two tires in there (loose rubber, or marbles as it's called), then four tires in the garbage and there is nothing you can do.
Dan Steele
It is like taking the tires off cars. It was a real sudden impact for the entire industry including Asia and Europe and everywhere that sells foam surfboards.
Jefferson Wagner
When I went to school at Northeastern, things got stolen from my bike all the time. Seats. Tires. Chains. But using a bike was so freaking convenient.
Leroy J. Watkins
Once I caught the guys if they were on the bottom, I drove by them on the high side. If they were up high, I just drove by them on the bottom. The car went wherever I wanted to go. Once I got the lead, I just rode there and saved my tires. I tried to keep the car straight and not spin the tires.
Brian Tyler
When the enemy advances, withdraw; when he stops, harass; when he tires, strike; when he retreats, pursue.
Mao Tse tung
I started on old tires -- to learn a bit more about the circuit -- and then we had two new sets of tires for the rest of the sessions, which was fantastic. We made a slight change for the third session and again for the fourth session, even though it was damp.
Robbie Kerr
Power tires only those who do not have it.
Giulio Andreotti
This was a tough one because a lot of (tires) were buried.
Rob Roberts
We are in a situation where sales of replacement tires have declined for several reasons, ... Obviously concerns surrounding the recall of certain Firestone tires is a contributor to this decline.
John Lampe
I was just trying to save tires and run so easy, ... I didn't want to get to lapped cars because I didn't know what I'd do with them.
Steve Kinser
It was about 1am, they were landing and the aircraft went off the runway about 15m. The nose gear was off in the grass, but the back tires stayed on the edge of the asphalt.
Richard Koroscil
Ford of Venezuela folks have suggested to Firestone people that they want to have their own recall. We stepped up to the plate and did it early. Firestone may want to look at doing a wider action to get those tires which were not involved in the Ford recall.
Mike Vaughn
No Canadians were hurt. The vehicle was able to protect them. What they were able to do was change the tires and continue on.
Sarah Galashan
It's not unusual for tires to experience some cosmetic cracking, and that is what we initially saw in this situation, ... As it became apparent that this was a unique circumstance, we decided a recall was the best course of action. With the design specification change, we believe we have taken the necessary steps to make sure this issue has been resolved.
John Lampe
States are doing an excellent job in keeping the tires in a controlled management situation.
Michael Shapiro
After three years of everything not working, you end up not quite trusting your models. All of a sudden the tires get traction, and you start screeching down the road.
Jim Griffin
The tires were scorching hot, in fact I burned my fingers on one.
Malcolm Campbell
I just lost it. I was out on new tires and I probably made the mistake. You don't think you're going to do anything wrong until it all goes wrong.
Jeff Simmons
Fortunately, we have great tires for this type of race. The surface of these slick Cooper A1 tires can become almost gel-like with the high track temperatures, and the way that they 'squash' into the track surfaces really helps with grip and cornering.
Scott Speed
It's just terrible. Everybody is just out there, knowing that at any moment the tires are going to pop. It's pretty disgusting and pretty embarrassing for our sport.
Kevin Harvick
For car tires and things like that, and there are a lot of car tires, we are going to have to find other ways to dispose of them. But other than that, nothing really sinister.
Patrick Gloyd
Properly inflated tires, according to the federal government, can save you up to 3 percent on your fuel bill each month.
Dan Zielinski
It's unbelievable what he's doing for our kids. Joe gives so much away. There's a lot of love in those bikes. It's not just bolts, nuts and tires.
Danny Lyons
We were a lot faster on the banking, and the BMWs seemed to be going pretty wide. We were able to hold it tight and get a run out of there. We started out on scrubbed tires, and I overshot it a bit on the first couple laps, expecting too much from them. The balance of the tires came back and I was able to charge forward and give the car to Jan with the lead.
Paul Edwards
Blowouts occur on all manufactures of tires.
David Champion
The car was fine and the tires were good. It's still a long way to go but it looks good now.
Marcus Gronholm
I understand there are about 30 million old tires that can't be re-treaded sitting around California right now, and we can use 2,000 of those tires on every road that we pave.
Bill Polick
We haven't launched any true business applications on Linux yet. Most of us [in the banking industry] are still kicking the tires.
Rick Curry
Hey, I'll give you some tires next week if you'll scuff tires for me right now.
Jeff Hammond
It?s a great car, easy on brakes and tires. It?s extremely surprising.
Joe Aquilante
Everybody said it wasn't going to snow, and I kept telling everybody, 'Hey, I think it's going to snow'. Winter's not over yet. Everybody's like, 'Oh! Take my studded tires off!' And I'm like, 'I wouldn't take studded tires off quite yet,' and here it is.
Chris Allen
It wasn't really our plan. Obviously, I was in the car ready to go and when we saw Sebastien went, we just decided let's go out and go head-to-head, you know one-to-one, see if we can beat him. Sebastien did a great lap this morning on fresh tires, so we knew that we needed to step it up and the time to do it was while he was on the track.
Paul Tracy
Right now there is no information that points to a specific date when tires will no longer be able to perform solely due to age.
Dan Zielinski
He remembered the car going back a couple of inches, hearing the tires spin, and the car went forward instead of in reverse.
Roger Massey
We believe the government will order Firestone to (recall the tires) if they don't do it of their own accord.
Ralph Hoar
You get used to it after a while. Working with him is like changing the tires on a moving car. You come in each morning without a clue as to what the day will bring. All you know is that the day will fly by and there will be screaming. It's like having a picnic at the end of the runway at O'Hare.
Dr. Howard Tullman
The tires just went sideways and pulled me into the ditch.
Brad Taylor
This plant makes money. They told us that they were making more tires than they ever did before and productivity's been the highest it's been at that plant for as long as they can remember . . . and today they dumped the bomb on those workers and their families.
Wayne Fraser
It's easier at the beginning of the race because the tires are fresh and I still have a lot of energy, as well. The last 10 laps slowed down because I took it easy if someone wasn't willing to let me pass.
Clayton Smith
Yesterday I had three flat tires.
Roger Shields
We will inspect the tire for damage or excessive wear and ensure the tires are inflated to the level specified by the vehicle's manufacturer. If there is a problem, we will remedy the situation to the customer's satisfaction.
Christine Karbowiak
Cut blocking is not fair, it's going after the legs. It would be the same thing if in NASCAR you were able to shoot people's tires out.
Al Wallace
We hung out for the day. Nothing was choreographed. It was really cool. We just got to light up the tires all day long. And as a band, the first half of the day, we got to hang around and watch these people go off on these killer machines and do the most insane stunts we've ever seen live.
Sully Erna
Mario was the fastest guy on Firestone (tires), ... The Firestone/Goodyear (tire) war was really heated then. I never had anything I could call a comfortable lead. My car, as it got low on fuel, became more and more difficult to hook up. I had to finesse it (into corners) and go like hell (on the straights).
Dan Gurney
I'm hoping we can get one of the Busch teams to pit us on Sunday. If some sponsors come out of the woodwork, maybe we can buy some new tires, too. That'd be a nice luxury.
Kirk Shelmerdine
It was about 1 a.m., they were landing and the aircraft went off the runway about 50 feet (15 meters). The nose gear was off in the grass, but the back tires stayed on the edge of the asphalt.
Richard Koroscil
We have had instances where people are replacing good tires and that takes the tires out of the hands of people that have bad tires and that's irresponsible.
Jason Vines
In all cases, failure rates for the recalled tires are fractions of a percent and thus determining a single cause for the failures is an unrealistic expectation.
Dr. Sanjay K. Jha
We need to have a safety option, even though those tires won't last as long. The other option, parking our trucks, is not something we want to do.
Lee Krugerud
It was loud, hostile and somewhat threatening. There were burning tires, loud firecrackers and obscene chants. They weren't about to move and the police weren't about to move them, so we were stuck.
Brian Penn
I was fairly certain that I wasn't going to be able to hold Mikey back at the end, ... On new tires and as strong as his truck had been, we're just happy to get second.
Todd Bodine
We were trying to make sure he wasn't running the tires off it. This place is so abrasive on tires.
Kenny Francis
I have a lot of friends who will warm up for an hour before they play. I feel that almost tires me. I just try to stay out of the cold too long and do a lot of humming and get up there and do it. I don't do a lot of warming up, but I do a lot of cooling down, like eating a slice of pizza.
Dave Peters
This is exactly what the beta is for -- to find the flaws now. We want people to kick the tires and tell us what they find out. We want to make sure all the extensions people use are readily portable. We're very good at responding to users.
Chris Beard
I started the race on the tires that I qualified on, everyone else was on stickers. I ran them pretty hard early on and then wanted to cool them down. I think stickers at the start would have been a better call. I got caught in traffic and that put me to second for a few laps before I could get back by. Once I got by and was in clean air and had clear track I could focus on consistent lap times.
Paul Edwards
You've got better protection buying a set of tires right now, than you would purchasing burial services.
Martin Corry
[Investors have turned jittery and are looking for any reason to sell. But analysts say this is a good time to kick the tires of company fundamentals, not shop for deals.] We're looking at companies that are close to making a profit, ... And there are not too many of those.
Jeffrey Silber
Well, you need new tires, for one thing.
Julie Sussman
It wouldn't have been missed (in pre-flight). They check tires before in a walk-around. A tire can hit something in the runway to cause it to go flat, (but) it is not common.
Dean Breest
Special teams (are) so key in the new NHL. It's like 80 percent of the game. That always turns the momentum up and down for everybody. It (stinks) for everybody that doesn't play. It tires out the guys that do play.
Kyle Wanvig
We opted to put on tires. My call, just to make sure we got no flats or anything happened. Good day for us in points, but the season ain't over yet.
Ted Musgrave
A tire is a product that is expected to perform consistently in all types of weather conditions, carry people to appointments and enhance the performance of the vehicle on which it's mounted. Perhaps drivers are beginning to recognize the incredible quality and value that go into these tires.
Larry Mason
The hard part about being independent is that major media is not supportive of independent artists because we're not selling tires or soda. The only thing that we want to sell is our message.
Roger Clyne
It's got motors that do what your muscles do for you. It's got those tires that do what your feet do for you.
Dean Kamen
Going into Turn 3, they got together and I thought we were finished. I had the tires locked up and everything. The good Lord was riding with me all night.
Timothy Peters
We are pleased that yet another independent source has recognized the tremendous value of our tires. Goodyear's product development efforts have focused on an application of relevant technology - advancements that are technologically innovative, but which also offer discernable benefits to those who drive on our tires.
Bob Toth
It's an acknowledgment by Ford that they are bad tires... that intrigues me.
Ralph Hoar
Between your tires being low and your alignment being off, you could easily lose 15 percent of your efficiency, just in your tires.
Andy Pomeroy
The data we have clearly show which Firestone tires are good and which are not. A broader recall is wrong.
Helen Petrauskas
It has proven to be a very effective [model]. It is a single point for education, enablement, what I call kicking the tires. We see our partners and partner centers as a natural hub [for] our innovation agenda to get out to the market. It has become a critical part of our strategy.
Donn Atkins
We, on an ongoing basis, get reports on all of our tires. We seek to evaluate those as fully as we can, and as quickly as we can. This situation was also the result of a process like that.
Ken Fields
They still like to come in and kick the tires.
Sean Dolan
Every track has its unique challenges, but Circuito Estoril is one of the most difficult tracks because it is physically grueling, both for your tires and yourself as a driver.
Scott Speed
If there is an order to stop the car, you have to shoot at the car, at the tires. You cannot shoot at the people inside.
Eduardo Duhalde
It's mattresses, glass, tires, furniture, appliances, food. Anything they can dump. They do it on both sides of the street.
Elizabeth Charette
How can any of you justify no testing of these tires after two years? I want to hear you justify to American families with two kids strapped into the back seat: How can you justify that you have not done the tests?
Edward Markey
We know there is a toxic cocktail that results when you put Ford explorer and Firestone tires together.
Edward Markey
She knows as well as anyone that pity, having played, soon tires.
